Shine a light: A reimagined view on bike safety; Arclight Pedals
The Arclight Pedals are a unique set of bike lights that take advantage of the natural motion of a cyclist. The pedaling motion creates a distinctive and instantly recognizable light pattern. This unique light movement provides a clear signal to motorists of a cyclist's presence. Using Arclight.
Pedals increases visibility by up to 57% compared to standard bicycle tail lights. Arclights are a set of durable aluminum platform pedals, which include 4 rechargeable and removable light modules (2 for each side) that have built-in smart features and customizable flash modes.
Philadelphia, PA - Redshift provides cyclists a better way to stand out and stay safe while riding. Introducing the Arclight Pedals. Arclight bike pedals are designed to leverage the natural movement of a cyclist. The movement of the pedals creates an unmistakable visible appearance. This enables a rider with Arclights to stand out and be instantly recognized as a cyclist. Arclights can be seen from all angles, a full 36 degrees. Arclight pedals fit on any bike and are designed to make riders visible both day and night.
SAFETY: Historically, bicycle lights and safety ‘flashers’ have been affixed to the seatpost and handlebar. These lights have gotten brighter as technology has advanced but still present a simple stimulus to a driver or observer. Research conducted by Edewaard, et al, has shown lights located near the cyclist's ankles are up to 57% more effective at capturing the attention of drivers than standard seatpost mounted lights.
"Leveraging the motion of the riders legs allows the lights to really stand out. This means that the rider will be significantly more visible than when using traditional fixed lights. And because people are really good at recognizing human biological motion a driver will consciously identify a rider with Arclights as a cyclist which further increases.

INTUITIVE & CONVENIENT: The Arclight modules feature SmartSet technology which make the pedals simple and intuitive to use. This includes Auto On/Off functionality where the lights automatically turn on when you start riding, and off when you park your bike. In addition, the pedals can determine orientation and set the forward facing light to white and the rear facing light to red VERSATILITY & COMPATIBILITY: Simple to install and easy to use for all riders.
The Arclight pedals are designed for all types of riding and bikes - road, MTB, gravel, urban, e-bikes, and kids bikes over certain sizes. The pedals fit any bike with a standard 9/16” interface and provide a large grippy surface. The Arclight modules plug directly into any USB outlet for easy recharging.
The Arclight pedals began with a desire for a better way to stand out while riding and be recognized as a cyclist. The development of the Arclight pedals has spanned a number of years and quite a few prototypes and iterations. The pedals provide riders with all the expected performance and ride characteristics of a traditional ‘flat’ pedal plus the added safety benefit of the lights.
